I had a vision at the grocery store yesterday. A utopia of creamy chocolate, salt, and crunch. And this is what happened.

I had a (too big) bag of bagel chips (I don't really know why I bought it, but it seemed like a good idea at the time) and instead of using it as a real bagel and spread cream cheese or some other dip, I wanted to make it a sweet snack. Enter Nutella! I loooove it. It goes with everything (especially a spoon). The combination of sweet and salty is my favorite. If you like chocolate covered pretzels, then you will love this. It has even a bigger crunch and you can control the chocolate/salt ratio. I like a lot of sea salt so I sprinkled a bunch.

So, bagel chip + nutella + sea salt= a perfect salted chocolate snack. Nutella can also be spread on any type of crunchy surface, like pita chips or saltines. If you use salted saltines, then you can forego the sea salt. But if using unsalted, you gotta sprinkle on the sea salt! Trust me.

Nutella: yes. I love the stuff. At a bagel shop where I used to work, we sold an open-faced bagel sandwich that was as follows:chocolate chip bagelbutterpeanut butternutella(or in other words, a sugar coma on a plate)But so good!
